On page http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Managing+Scheduled+Jobs the documentation says the -s option should be used in the following instance ...

Using cli.php with Drupal Multi-site

If your site is NOT running under sites/default, add -s <site_directory> to the command line. For example, to run the Process Pledges job when your site is running from sites/myorg ...

But the only use of this parameter in the code that I can see is ...
    $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] = $this->_site;
... on line 186 of bin/cli.class.php

From my reading, the -s option supplies the host name, and should be supplied in all instances. The default for _site is 'localhost' but this not helpful for instance when the send-mail job wants to convert relative URLs to absolute.
